    Great pictures of the back of the guy's hand as he connects the wires, but there's no clear idea how the wire goes into the connector. Pick any of the holes, push in and twist?

      I'm sitting here with the junction box in my hand and still no clue how these weird wire nuts are supposed to work. Nothing in the instructions either.

    Literally the worst tutorial ever. How do the wire connections work?

    The model I used has a bracket to mount to the junction box. However, they don't provide screws which in this case is a potential for disaster. The bracket can be used with either a light support bracket designed for these lights or mounted to a stud or joist in the ceiling. They provide quick cable clamps for romex wiring as well as standard 7/8 knockouts for industrial BX designs.
    Where the bracket mounts to the box requires VERY short flat head sheet metal screws. (1/4") of threads max.
    If they are too long, they will go right through a capacitor on the circuit board inside the unit. Horrible design.

    I will try this, it improves outdoor lighting at night around a house, but too many make it look like a commercial building, less is more.

      Must have flat surface which can be created in any decorative way. Seems that you're handy so also creative.
